@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 Lucky you. I saw them at Wolverhampton Poly (as it was then) back in 1978. I completely missed them this time round (as an old fart I don't get out much these days, but I would have dragged myself off the sofa to see them again).
I think Magazine have to be the the most EXCELLENT semi-unacknowledged BRILLIANT band that ever existed. You wait... in a couple of years they will be lauded from the frickin rooftops.... just like the V Underground and Zombies before 'em. How come this heart/head food has slipped us by? Well,no more. Spread the word!
@simleybaton They are the same league as likewise british The God Machine who has written the best rock ballad ever, The blind man. Just like them, Magazine aren't always SONIC, they just don't care to make everything harmonic. Genius, yes but the hit potential gets lost when you don't streamline the soundscape. I had a band with a similar style back in 90's way before I heard Magazine, or anything else similar to our band, and we were quite a show, but carreer was no option. Krossad Sammet.
PURE/ UN-FUCKING-ADULTERED GENIUS!!!! Magazine INVADED my brain at the tender age of 12 and has always been there as one of the most CREATIVE THINGS I have EVER fucking EXPERIENCED!!! Peter Murphy ( my IDOL ) is one of Magazine's GROUPIES!!! How can he NOT be??!!! This band is BEYOND ALL FUCKING GENRES!!! This is THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED!!!!
@petermurphreak What a fucking brilliant comment - I used to 'space out' to My Tulpa and 'Definative Gaze' when i was in my early 20's (1980/81) Really - the ONLY album i need
Ahh Memories. What a brilliant band!

The vocal melody of the verses is very close to "Betters Ways" by one of the Alan Jourgensen's (Ministry) side project 1000 Homo Dj's.

My deepest respects to dave Formula who, along with Colin Moulding of XTC rank amongst the greatest artesans of late 70ies music.
His choice of sounds and musical architecture always teases and pleases me.
Gracias from Buenos Aires.
